SOLAR LIGHT

Good architectural design can maximize the use of natural sun light, which saves money and can provide a better environment. 

SOLAR HEAT

Solar energy can be used to directly heat water.  China has 80% of the world's solar heating systems.  In Israel 90% of the homes use this technology.  Swimming pools are the most successful application of solar hot water in the USA.  Solar ponds can be used to store solar energy.

Evaporation ponds are used to produce salt from sea water.  A solar still uses solar energy to distill water.  Solar cookers use sunlight to cook food.  A solar furnace can achieve temperatures up to 3,000 degrees Celsius.
